India and US have set up a task force in order to reduce global warming and this decision was taken at a joint Indo-US workshop on HydroFluoroCarbons (HFCs) attended by environment minister Jairam Ramesh and US deputy assistant secretary of state for environment Daniel A Reifsnyder. In the meeting they have concluded to establish a team that comprises of Industry representatives, scientists, and government officials to suggest options for HFC phase-down.
Speaking at the workshop, Environment minister of India MR. Jairam Ramesh said, "India recognises that while HFCs, a substitute for CFCs and HCFCs, are a 'solution' from an ozone depletion perspective, they are a 'problem' from climate change perspective, since they have high global warming potential."They are going to form a four level approach to tackle this problem. What are those four level approaches? For more information on these news, keep seeing this blog( save earth).
